Whether we like it or not we are at one time or the other
tagged with one or even more nick names, some in mockery some in praise. So am
like are they good or bad. There’s that teacher, that uncle, that guy, that
lady we’ve tagged with one nick name, you’d know if they are happy about it or
not from their reactions. Sometimes we actually tend to forget the real name of
the person in question. I know a guy whom from the first day I knew him down to
this moment I still do not know his actual name. On Facebook, twitter and
Instagram he uses his nickname. …#weirdo?#
So the bone of contention is this; are nick names bad? Are
they good? Or are they just one of those things that are not really on any
side. Now like I said earlier some are in mockery and some in praise. Nick
names carry the same strength as names. Children learn from a young age that
nick names can hurt. Someone is called a name and their fore head wrinkles and
their faces are contorted, shows that they are not happy. This imprints on the
mind of that child that you can control someone with nicknames. Sometimes the
names are actually pioneered by the bearers themselves, maybe of a celebrity or
someone they admire a lot, and some just “funkify” their actual given name
Generally I’d say a nick name is no different from a name.
Call a person something nice that’s all that counts.
